Equipment
- Muffin Tin
Ingredients
- 4 cups ripe bananas mashed (about 1.5 cups)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup avocado oil or melted butter, or ghee
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup or brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 ⅔ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅔ cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a muffin tray by spraying it with cooking oil or lining it with muffin papers.
- Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until most of the chunks are out (it’s okay to leave it somewhat chunky). Whisk in the eggs, avocado oil, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well-combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, stir together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon, and chocolate chips until well-combined.
- Pour the flour mixture into the bowl with the banana mixture and mix until everything is well-incorporated.
- Fill the muffin holes ¾ of the way up with muffin batter and sprinkle with more chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the muffins are golden-brown and cooked through.
- Allow muffins to cool completely before peeling and eating.
- Pro Tip: Microwave the muffins for 15 to 20 seconds in the microwave before eating 🙂
